Howell ready to face the new season&#8207;

Harlequins centre David Howell returned to the UK this week and was straight back into preseason training with his fellow team mates.

The 26 year old was the top try scorer for Harlequins last season, crossing the whitewash 14 times. However he missed the final five games of the season after suffering an horrific facial industry in training.

Now nearly fully recovered, Howell is back in full contact training and is relishing the season kicking off at the Stoop on January 30th against Wakefield.
